What was it like to be at the Wolfe Tones EP gig?

Yesterday, in Stradbally, The Wolfe Tones performed for the biggest crowd in Electric Picnic’s Electric Arena since the festival started.     Although many of the songs by the rebel music group were written before many attendees were born, the crowd had a wide range of ages – many of whom sang 'Oh, ah, up the Ra' to the band's song 'Celtic Symphony'.    We wondered what it was like to be there in the thick of it all. Sean Defoe was joined by Sean Reidy, Newstalk's own, and Sharon Murray who were both at the Wolfe Tone gig.
